I have been considering steam since the beging of april.

Amazing a game that has such a steep learning curve ( your words ) and you have the answers in 20 hours? My hat is off to you.

I think adding AH3 to the Steam market place is a good thing if Hitech can get a deal favorable to his needs especially for the broad spectrum of payment methods offered to it's community that Steam will have to mange. Depending on age demographics, some players need an ability to change hard currency into virtual currency which is often true for younger people in any first world country. Everyone in the Melee arena will be AH3 regardless of their virtual origin. I don't want the Steam portal to cause new players from that virtual origin to think they are being effected lag wise by the active filter program in the Portal. We see what simply talking about lag does in our forums to peoples perceptions of the game.

I do not know if the existence of Steam has evolved part of it's community to not want to pay full price for everything they can expend effort to find a way around. Or, if that is the nature of a portion of the beast called Internet gamer's and the Steam market place portal concentrates and supports them while they constantly validate themselves as that culture in the Steam community world wide.

I did say Steam reminds me of FaceBook focused only on computer games. I used to work for one of the early E-commerce companies out of Richmond California that IBM had a partnership with called Quick Response Service\QRSI\QRS Corp.. Market place portals are a good thing, back then they were the holy grail of B to B business and mostly unreliable due to the technology of the day. Now, an indispensable tool for running a global virtual market place.

1. Steam will only have to manage the people paying for Aces High through steam

2. 18-25 year olds have debit cards...so hard currency and virtual currency is a non factor....(this is the majority age group you will get with steam.

As much as I agree with you all about the game play experience and undertsanding of the game.  For some reason it seems to not matter when a person who does have close to 6K hours of AH, makes a suggestion about game play. I'm sure Lazer has even close to 10K hours or more. So if we aren't accepting game play adjustments, or ideas from well talented/long time players. Who are we suppose to take advice from, in order to increase the #s, and make the game more enjoyable?

I'm just gonna say many Europeans do not own a creditcard. Besides PayPal there are not allot of options for us to pay HT. I used to have a creditcard just for the reason to pay HT. PayPal is a hazel i always forget to pay and my account gets locked XD We mainly use debit cards.

Steam would fix this issue for Europeans and for many new potential players who do not wanna give HT there creditcard info.

Ps: the insta creditcard info that's being asked always scares me when i try a new product. I usually just don't do it.

It would be welcome if on Steam there would be a 1 month  3 month and a whole year pricing plan, with according prices ofcourse.

[lunatic1]

I like the month by month pricing plan HTC has, works just right for me.

[Shuffler]

They already have a yearly plan.

[TequilaChaser]

HTC offers monthly, quarterly, semiannual, and yearly subscription pay plans....

They have offered this for well over a decade if my memory is serving me right.....

Also, if you use payment options of paying quarterly, semiannual or yearly, you will get a discounted rate....that is if it hasn't changed... Been a long time since I've looked at the options

[lunatic1]

This is not entirely true, I played for 2 weeks. 

HTC should make a category for people who play this game for 2 weeks and feel they are qualified to suggest changes to this game after such a short time. Nugetx is not the 1st and probably won't be the last. there are a lot of Know It All's in this world.
Lets see, 2 weeks 14 days  approx. 6 to 10 hrs a day game play maybe every day maybe not.

Call it (The 2 Weeker Know it All Category)

Including you, is this your personal crusade to shut him up and run him off?

Can't run him off, he's not here.

There are already multi-tier pricing plan.  You can contact HTC and make the arrangements to pay for multiple months if you desire.
